Video: Vandals Causing Problems for Others at Houston Park

HOUSTON, Miss. (WCBI) — Vandals are making life miserable for the rest of the folks in Houston.
The city has had to install more gates and lock them at sundown because of continued vandalism to bathrooms, playgrounds and other facilities in Joe Brigance Park. Bathrooms have been closed for repairs.

Surveillance cameras also have been installed and police patrols stepped up to try to catch the culprits.

The park is frequently used in the evenings and at night by walkers and jogger and the city hopes the additional security steps will reduce the problems.
